3/22/17, driving om I 85 highway from greenville, s. C. To GA. . Smelled something burning, turned off my air and radio. Seat began to heat up. 45 minutes to go. Parked did not get back into the car until 4/3/2007. Noticed side of seat covered in smoke and seat adjusters melted and blackened. Unable to adjust seats. Took car back to greenville to dealer week of April 10th. Told I had to report this to corporate. I called corporate and they asked me to send pictures, I did, corporate sent inspector out on may 15th, 2017. Promised a response in 30 days. This is my only vehicle, I was fearful, but I continued to drive it. I waited on a response, and made several phone calls, and was told pictures were sent to china, and it would take more time. I continued to call corporate and in August I finally received information telling me that I had caused the problem and Toyota would not fix my car. I have had the SUV serviced as directed by the manuel by a Toyota dealer since I purchased it in 2003. I did nothing to cause this malfunction in my power position control system. I informed corporate several times that this was aggravating my already injured back because I could not adjust my seat. I am now scheduled for back surgery next month. This malfunction could happen to someone else and I am fearful of my what could have happened to me and what could happen to someone else. I had about 223601 miles on the car at the time of the incident. Please investigate.

My children (5 and 6 years old) were in the third row seat in backless booster seats with seatbelts on. After pulling out of a parking lot onto the main road, I heard my 5 year old screaming from the back of the car. My 6 year old (who remained in his booster with the seatbelt fastened), managed to push the button near the side door to raise/lower the seat in the third row. As he did this, my 5 year old's head became wedged between the third row seats. I pulled over and gained access to him from the rear hatch. The seat would not move back anymore for me to get his head out. I had to force his head out with my hands. He has some serious bruising on the side of his face. After the incident, I could not find any way to disable their seat controls (like I can for the windows) to prevent this from happening again. It was very scary and I can only hope that Toyota will be able to address this safety issue in the future.

2006 Toyota Sequoia. Consumer states mats would constantly move under the pedals interfering with gas and brake pedals, there was a loud noise while driving high speeds and when it rains water would leak inside the consumer stated the dealer assured her, they had rectified the problem by replacing the mats and making sure the lining around the windows were tight. However, the leak continued as well as the noise while driving. Also, the navigation/radio,cd player wasn't working properly. The dealer was finally able to stop the water from leaking in the vehicle. The consumer then stated the vehicle began to stall/ hesitate while turning and then it would jerk fast at times. A diagnosis revealed the transmission pan gasket was leaking. Also the power outlets were no longer working, the vehicle began to ride rough, the seat would grind and vibrate, the tire pressure monitoring light illuminated, the brake hardware kit was falling apart, the engine was leaking oil and the dealer replaced the gaskets, the trunk wouldn't open. The consumer stated while driving on the highway, the vehicle suddenly stopped. The dealer stated the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the consumer the drain plug was missing.

2008 Toyota Sequoia, prior to nationwide recall I have complained to Toyota concerning unresponsiveness of the accelerator pedal, as well as other defects in vehicle and I continue to be ignored by both manufacturer and dealership, with dealership making excuses by saying things like different parts of the body where made in different factories causing there to be variants in the color of the vehicle bumper from the rest of the body, and that they are not that familiar with the new model Sequoia since they haven't had them in the shop yet (excuse made in 2009). I made a written request in November in regards to what I call unresponsiveness of the accelerator pedal, when I push the pedal some times the car will accelerate rapidly other times it would do nothing then jump and accelerate without me putting access pressure on the pedal. I also reported on defects in leather seats and body color which is two toned by defect to name a few of the issues. The manufacturer called me, referred me back to the dealership and again the dealership will not do anything about the issues as minimizes them. Here we are in 2010 my car still accelerates when it wants to instead of when I want it to, I still have a car with exterior and interior defects and poor workmanship. And was insulted when the only thing I have received from Toyota was a post card asking me to pay over $200 for a dvd to update my navigation center, which is adding salt to the wound that Toyota has dug if anything Toyota should be doing more then a temporary fix for customers and making us pay more money to fix their issues. The unpredictable acceleration is not from a sticky pedal I believe its electrical, possibly from other electrical devices, such as cell phone, garage door opener remote, gate remotes or door access remotes, all which I carry from time to time in my vehicle, however I cant put my life in danger testing out my theory. Something needs to be done soon, either replace the cars or pay up.
